US judge halts Harry Potter lexicon
7:29pm Monday 8th September 2008 in
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has won her claim that a fan in the US violated her copyright with plans to publish a Potter encyclopaedia.
Judge Robert Patterson, sitting in New York, said that Rowling had proven that Steven Vander Ark's Harry Potter Lexicon would cause her irreparable harm as a writer.
Rowling sued Michigan-based RDR Books last year to stop publication of the lexicon.
Vander Ark runs the popular Harry Potter Lexicon website.
